waitng for the Chinook

Whitehorse, Yukon
July 10th

Whitehorse has a wooden fish ladder for the salmon to climb to get to the hatchery.  The sign says it is the longest wooden fish ladder.  It is also unused right now as it is too early for the salmon to arrive.  These are Chinook Salmon that they are expecting to return to spawn in a few weeks.

I guess you have to be a good swimmer to make it all the way through the ladder.
